Sculpture museum
The Vigeland Park, located in Oslo, Norway, is a sculpture park and museum that showcases the works of renowned Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. The park features over 200 granite and bronze sculptures by the artist, including entwined lovers, elderly couples, babies, and beggars. One of the most famous pieces is 'Sinnataggen' (Little Hot-Head), depicting a child in a bad mood.
One of the most beautiful and well-maintained parks I've ever seen, and the statues by a famous Norwegian sculptor make it even more unique. Indeed, the statues are so interesting and detailed that you can spend half a day in the park looking at them. The grounds are large with benches, paths, cafes, a small Oslo museum and more. It was a pleasure to walk there. One of Oslo's calling cards. Deserved. Be sure to visit

This is a truly beautiful place to visit. It’s perfect for a peaceful walk, relaxing, or just take some time to think. The sculptures are amazing — all created by one artist, which is really impressive and gives the park a special atmosphere. We visited in autumn, and the colors of the trees made everything even more stunning. The mix of art, nature, and calm vibes makes this park one of the highlights of Oslo. Definitely worth visiting! 🍂🌳🇳🇴
Petra H — Google review
A really interesting place to walk through. The sculptures are everywhere and you kind of end up noticing new details the longer you look. It’s a quiet spot even when there are lots of people around, and the layout makes it easy to wander without any plan. The big monolith in the center is impressive up close. Good place for a relaxed walk, photos, or just sitting for a bit. Worth stopping by if you're in Oslo.

Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway. Gustav Vigeland 1869, born as Adolf Gustav Thorsen, was a Norwegian sculptor. Known for his power of creative imagination and in his productivity. He created Vigeland installation and made Frogner Park into Norway's most popular tourist attraction, leaving visitors with a unique experience of sculptured human forms. The Frogner Park, with a clean, green and gorgeous flowers, is a large outdoor setting for picnics and walks. Naturally, their is no fee to enter the Park. Don't miss a visit if you can.

In my opinion, one of the five most beautiful works of art ever created by Europe and its people. Proof that Europeans, as a civilization, are far more advanced than all the others in these times when engineers and doctors are being brought in from countries where people don’t even know how to use a toilet. Fascinating.

Vigeland Park is one of the highlights of my trip to Oslo. The park is beautiful, with plenty of nature spots combined with immersive art with a theme of humanity at its centre. The sculptures are very unique and feel like they have purpose with the rest of the park. It is very interesting that it feels like one big fascinating exhibition.

Art museum
Museums
The Vigeland Museum, located in a former industrial setting, is an extraordinary and atmospheric museum showcasing the exceptional collection of sculptures, woodcuts, and drawings by renowned Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. The museum presents various sculptures and models created by the artist, including concepts that are now part of the iconic Vigeland Park in Oslo. Visitors can explore several rooms housing these remarkable works, some of which depict Vigeland's visions of heroes from sagas and Eddic poems.
Every year in December on the first Sunday of advent, the Vigeland Museum invites everyone for a free day at the museum. Complete with Christmas workshops for kids and guided tours in the apartment of Norway's top sculptor - Gustav Vigeland. The museum is Vigeland's former studio and residence, provided by the city in 1921 in exchange for all of his artwork. His ashes, self-designed bronze urn and burial monument are located in the tower of the museum.

Come to this museum before heading to the park! You'll get to see scale models, plaster replicas, and learn about Gustav Vigeland's process on his sculptures. It is much more fascinating to see about his works and what went into them before seeing the larger than life sculptures in the park. The Museum has all original works of Vigeland made from plaster, bronze, granite, marble, and including sketches. Scale models of what the park, and sculptures placements should have been. Worth the entry, and free with the Oslo Pass!
Christopher D — Google review
Fascinating museum containing the largest collection from Norway’s finest sculptor. Really worth a visit especially if you are intending on visiting the sculpture park as many of the designs used there can be seen throughout the development stage. Very interesting to see the development and maturing of vigeland’s work whilst his motifs and themes remained the same throughout !
Connor M — Google review
Incredible museum, all the sculpture work is incredible. The building is amazing too, make sure to visit the park nearby too.
Matthew H — Google review
I have never heard about Gustav Vigeland before my trip to Oslo, and I was really impressed. This museum is completely dedicated to this splendid artist. Vigeland Park, which is very close to museum, is the cornerstone of the whole life of sculptor. So if you have seen the park, which is totally free, you have seen almost all you can look at in this museum. But there are more works there, which are not related to park, some pieces of information. Though this all is pretty expensive if you visit this museum without Oslo Pass.
Roman M — Google review
Entrance is included with the Oslo pass. We visited after visiting the park and it was interesting to get the story behind how the park happened and learning about Vigeland's process and history. Not a lot of people here when we visited. The museum is a big square, so you can just follow it around in a loop, and it's all one level. We spent about 45 minutes here.
Casey S — Google review
I visited the Vigilendo Sculpture Park for the first time 24 years ago. It is a place worth visiting twice in a lifetime: in youth and in adulthood. It is also worth visiting the Vigilend Museum, the former workshop of the artist, where the sculptures were born, located next to the park, once in a lifetime. A great idea in the museum was a contemporary art hall with changing exhibitions. A special experience was a guided tour of the sculptor's living quarters and a visit to the mausoleum, which we booked spontaneously.

I found the Vigeland Museum quite interesting. The sculptures are truly impressive and beautifully crafted, offering a unique glimpse into Gustav Vigeland's artistic vision. I spent about an hour exploring the exhibits, and it was a captivating experience.

The Norwegian Museum of Cultural History is a vast open-air museum that features an impressive collection of medieval buildings and indoor exhibits showcasing culture and lifestyle. It is one of the largest museums in Europe, offering visitors the perfect opportunity to explore Norway's rich history in a day. The museum showcases a stoic stave church built in AD among other notable attractions such as The National Gallery, The Viking Ship Museum, and the Nobel Peace Center.
Walk through decades and centuries of historic Norway at this fabulous museum. There are so many buildings to see, all from different eras. Admission includes an optional, 30 minute guided tour. Afterward, visitors are free to explore the property inside and out at their own leisure. I loved every minute. We spent a few hours, but could’ve easily spent an entire day. Highly recommended.
Troy W — Google review
A fantastic day spent watching dancers, seeing artifacts and learning about Norwegian culture and history. Kind people great exhibits and lots to see. I’d say go on a weekend when they have more crafts people on staff. We visited each building cluster and the exhibition halls. We loved the variety of historic structures on display.
Corey — Google review
We originally came for the guided tour of the stave church, but unfortunately the museum had listed the wrong time on their website. We were quite disappointed when we arrived to find the tour had been moved an hour earlier. However, the staff immediately stepped up and arranged a private tour with Elise, and honestly — it turned out to be the highlight of our visit! Elise was absolutely wonderful — warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the church, the museum, and daily life in old Norway. She shared fascinating details with such genuine passion that you could tell this isn’t just a job for her; it’s something she truly loves. She even mentioned she wrote her master’s thesis on the subject, and it shows in every story she tells. Guiding us while wearing her beautiful traditional Norwegian bunad, she brought history to life in a way that was both deeply informative and heartfelt. Her ability to connect facts, folklore, and cultural insight made the experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting the museum — ask for Elise. You won’t regret it. She’s the kind of guide who turns a simple visit into something truly special. We’ll definitely be back next time we have friends visiting Oslo! 😍🙌

We really enjoyed our visit here. It’s such a beautiful and interesting place. There are many old houses and buildings that were moved here from different parts of Norway, and it’s amazing to see how people lived in different times. You can walk through homes from centuries ago and then see newer ones where you notice the big changes in design and interiors. I also loved that dogs are welcome here — it makes the visit so much nicer if you travel with your pet. There’s even a playground for children, so it’s a perfect place for families too. We spent several hours just walking around and enjoying the atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit when you’re in Oslo! 🇳🇴🏡🐾
Petra H — Google review
Fun place to explore, especially the open-air village. You can walk through different time periods just by moving from one building to the next. One of the highlights is the stave church - it looks like something straight out of a fantasy movie and it’s even more impressive up close. The staff are friendly and don’t mind answering random questions. It’s the kind of place where you unexpectedly end up staying longer than planned. A really good visit.
Andrei A — Google review
Such an incredible museum, so many structures from throughout Norwegian history, endless interiors dressed for the specific period. There’s also 3 large exhibitions. And you can see actors dressed up in traditional wear whilst they do folk dance and music. So much to see, I actually nearly missed a lot of it!

The one thing as a tourist I wanted to see, was a Stave Church. I imagine this museum would be utterly fabulous in sun/dry/snow. Unfortunately we had torrential rain but it was the only time we could visit. I was still so happy to see the church - there are lots of interesting & beautiful buildings on the site. We loved it.

The Viking Ship Museum is a captivating display of three 9th-century Viking ships and an array of artifacts recovered from burial chambers. Over a millennium ago, Vikings used these longships as the focal point for elaborate ceremonial burials, interring various items such as food, drink, jewelry, furniture, weapons, and even dogs for companionship.
It was super awsome. Very modern. The staffs were friendly, very informative,and speak multiple languages too. Unfortunately the museum was very small. For my family who is always eager to learn about history,we expected more to see.

Incredibly serene and beautiful. The ships are restored and laid out as though they sailed in. The exhibits are well organised and the information is very comprehensive.

The Fram Museum in Oslo is a captivating destination that showcases the 19th-century polar exploration ship, Fram, and features exhibits on various expeditions. This renowned vessel was utilized by the legendary explorer Roald Amundsen during his historic journey to the South Pole. The museum offers an immersive experience with northern lights shows and informative displays about Arctic and Antarctic explorers. Visitors can also enjoy a panoramic view from the top of the ship.
A real highlight of our visit to Oslo. The museum is amazing and the ship is awe inspiring. On entering the museum you receive a handy checklist of 4 things not to miss, which is essential if you're in a hurry to catch the ferry back to central Oslo. Don't miss the trapped in the ice experience or the second ship (through underpass) and the Flight to Remember film. Easy to get here on the number 30 bus or the ferry.
David P — Google review
The Fram Museum was a great surprise. The ship itself is the main attraction and you can actually walk on board and get a sense of how tight things were during the polar expeditions. There’s a good mix of history and hands-on displays, so it never gets boring. The lighting and sound effects inside help set the atmosphere without feeling like a theme park. It’s both interesting and easy to follow even if you’re not a big history person. Worth the stop for sure.
Andrei A — Google review
The Fram Museum is a fantastic museum with a lot to offer. It takes you on a complete journey of the most thrilling of the Arctic expeditions of the 19th and 20th centuries. Being able to board the Fram is incredible and immersive - with audio and visual FX used to try and show you the surroundings that you would see if you were on this ship. One problem I had with this museum is it almost has too much information at your disposal. I found that going around, I was bombarded with different aspects of the history but the structure of the museum meant that I was confused as to where I was at in the timeline or why things had happened. I think it would be great if the museum was better laid out, maybe by starting by first introducing where the quest for exploring the Arctic came from and the people and expeditions that came before the Fram. Now this information actually does exist, but it exists in the tunnel that you find on the left as you enter, but I didn’t go down this path until after visiting the Fram. It would’ve been great to have this context before being thrown into the Fram expedition immediately. Another thing is that the first thing I started reading is about the boat Polar Station going to the Arctic soon… this didn’t feel as organised as it could be to me. It’s a weird thing to say that there’s too much information here, but it was difficult to retain information and consider it throughout the whole exhibition when it wasn’t laid out in a chronological way. Aside from this, the museum is really incredible. I recommend this for people of all ages!
Sam P — Google review
Great museum. The main attraction is Amundsen's polar ship, the Fram. The ship is beautifully presented and can be viewed both inside and out. The rooms below deck are particularly impressive. Lots of information boards and films explain all the details of the expeditions. Absolutely fascinating and, for me, one of the best museums in the world.

The Norwegian Opera and Ballet in Oslo is a modern architectural wonder that has become a signature work for the Norwegian National Ballet. The building's spacious and airy design makes it a must-see for culture, art, and history enthusiasts.

Beautiful architecture, surely a landmark of Oslo. You can walk up to the roof top to avail the stunning view of Oslo.

Top experience – Rusalka, 2025. The music and orchestra were so beautiful > it was beyond anything words can describe. The acoustics of the main hall were designed with expert consultation, using oak paneling and wave-like surfaces to create world-class sound. The architecture > I love how it lets visitors walk on top of the building, blurring the boundary between structure and nature.

Gorgeous architecture with impressive views. The building seems symbolic of the surrounding fjords and the beauty of Norway. The steps to the roof are a gradual climb with many places to stop for children or those who need more breaks. It's wonderful to see such a new building be accessible, allowing mist everyone to experience Oslo’s beauty.

Went here to watch Eugen Onegin (Russian Opera), not sure I'm a huge fan of Opera though. But I can't rate the location low because of that! It's very nice inside, spacious and feels modern yet classic! Will come back to see maybe a Ballett instead. On the downside, the seats are very straight, and offer very little legspace, for me 195cm it was hard to find a good position to sit in for the almost 3 hours the play lasted. Therefore i give this a 4 only

The slides and pools were great and fun for kids, but we felt the spa options were quite limited—especially for toddlers. Hairdryers were weak, so it's a good idea to bring your own. Sauna choices were fewer than expected, and the showers felt a bit awkward. Since we visited during the holidays, it was very crowded, and the changing rooms were often messy—understandably, as not everyone cleaned up after themselves.

Great place to visit with families, swing, eat, relax, spa. Much fun for the kids. Nice service. Like the new lock system. No need to bring own lock. You might have problems if you forgot something and need to exit building due to the new lock. But not a problem. The price is a bit high for a family to visit, unfortunately. Go a bit later to avoid crowded guests. Will be back☺ hope they will set the price lower for families.

I was disappointed to visit this swimming pool. The whole complex looks rather old, not modern at all, starting with lockers and showers, to the three tube-slides and the pool itself, with not very clean and clear water, no tiles on the walls or bottom of the pool. Lots of children visiting the pool (main one, unfortunately) and jumping into it from the springboards and the diving tower, making a lot of noise and blocking all lanes but ONE for those who want to swim. After kids are gone, still only two lanes are available for swimming. The two saunas (one dry and one damp) do work, but again, are old-fashioned and not really pleasant to visit. There is a nice warm-water small pool and a Jacuzzi outdoors, worth recommending, though.

Honestly best pool for kids and grow ups, i haven't found such fun pools in Oslo area, everything you need they have, highly recommend to try at least once with family.

A very, very bad, disgusting, terrible service. The entire area is run-down and neglected. They charge a lot of money. Half of the equipment doesn't work. The foot baths often don't work. There are often technical issues. Things are often closed. I do not recommend it. Very bad service.

Gothenburg Botanical Garden

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
Gothenburg Botanical Garden, also known as Botaniska Tradgarden, is a sprawling and tranquil oasis that offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Established in 1916, this expansive 432-acre garden is one of Europe's largest botanical gardens. It features over 16,000 plant species, including rare and endangered ones, housed in greenhouses with exhibitions.
Beautiful Garden with loads of different plants and trees. You can walk around and enjoy nature. It’s wheelchair accessible but the garden in total is having some steep parts. The restaurant in the garden has some really delicious food for reasonable prices. The entry is free but you can pay something if you want to help keeping the garden - amazing concept. I will definitely come back here ❤️
Jules B — Google review
One of the largest botanical gardens in Europe. Free admission, with optional donations. It feels more like a vast natural park — almost like a national park — right in the middle of Gothenburg. Perfect for picnics, sunbathing, or hiking up to a small mountain that was recently cleared after being overgrown for decades. Walking here feels like stepping into wild nature. Highly recommended for stress relief.
Daniel J — Google review
Well kept charming botanical garden! Its so lush in greenery. Landscaping is stunning! There are plenty of walking paths as well as running. Its a green lush haven from the city. Can easily take the tram. Very much worth the visit!
Miss H — Google review
Like many things in Gothenburg there is construction and/or renovation occurring and the botanical garden is no exception as the glass houses are being replaced and won’t be open until 2030. The map of the garden is a great guide but recommend going to the wild side, Smith Valley and getting to the high point with great views.drop down from here into the rock garden with the waterfall. Definitely worth the visit.
Andy B — Google review
Great place for the weekend - lots of pathways, interesting and unusual plants. There is also a cafe along the way and the gift shop and restrooms. Admission is for free, with possible volunteer contribution. Really worth visiting ! Can’t wait when the greenhouse will be opened.

A lovely place to enjoy nature and take in the colors and scents. Wide variety of plants and flowers. Peaceful, well-maintained. Amazing hiking trails with breathtaking city and nature views. I loved the place!
Marijana — Google review
It is a nice, diverse garden with different sections. It also goes up quite a bit, so be prepared. The mainroad is easy to walk, at some places it gets quite steep. This could be difficult for older people or people with children. Additionally, there are many side ways but there are steps most of the time, so plan accordingly. We couldn't visit the greenhouses because they are under construction (like 50% of the city at the moment, at least it felt like it)

The Garden Society, also known as Tradgardsforeningen, is a well-preserved 19th-century park located in the heart of Gothenburg. Established in 1842, it offers visitors a chance to wander through lush rose gardens, woodlands, and admire sculptures. The park features historic buildings dating back to its establishment and a striking Palm House inspired by London's Crystal Palace.
🌸🌷🌿 Trädgårdsföreningen – A Blooming Paradise in Gothenburg 🌿🌷🌸 What a truly magical garden! 💫 Bursting with flowers in every color and shape imaginable 🌺🌼🌻—and buzzing with happy insects enjoying the nectar 🐝🦋. There are cozy benches scattered throughout the park 🪑🧺, perfect for taking a relaxing break if the garden’s size feels a bit much for one stroll 🚶‍♀️. The atmosphere is peaceful, fresh, and full of life 🍃🌞. 🍰🍦 The café is a treat—delicious pastries for grownups and refreshing ice cream for the kids. A lovely spot to enjoy a sweet break in beautiful surroundings ☕🥐 The grand glasshouse was closed when we visited 🚪❌, but honestly, the garden itself was so spacious and full of charm that we didn’t mind one bit 🌳💖

I went to this part of Gothenburg to see a concert at the Trädgårdsföreningen park in the city centre. The Garden Society building itself was being renovated so I was covered in scaffolding and wind sheets, and it was temporarily closed to the public. The park and gardens outside the building were a wonderful setting for the concert, next to the river. There was a peaceful, relaxed vibe and the Swedish city folk are friendly, sociable and welcoming. It’s an immaculately, clean city.

The Garden Society is a very big green complex in the sole city center. It follows all the way the Gota river canal and continues into the next door Kungspark. Garden society consists of several green areas with fountains, flowers, rose garden, kids playground,.... There're many paths running through, as well benches to rest and places to picnic or just lay on the grass. The Palm house is currently closed for renovations. We were there during ACDC concert, so it was packed with fans.

Universeum

Mentioned on 
+73 other lists 
Science museum
Museums
Universeum is a top-notch museum for kids in Sweden, featuring seven floors of interactive experiences with themes like the brain, the ocean, and space. The museum boasts a huge diplodocus at its entrance and is located near Liseberg amusement park. Visitors can explore large aquariums, a rainforest with tropical birds and butterflies, life-sized dinosaurs, and even experience Swedish wilderness and space travel. Additionally, the Universeum Science Discovery Centre offers interactive experiments and a rainforest exhibit.
A fantastic place for both adults and children! The facilities are very clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to visit. The restrooms are spotless, and there is also a small café where you can take a break and enjoy a snack. The exhibition is divided into several themed zones, each offering something unique. The tropical zone is particularly impressive — it’s quite hot inside, so I recommend not bringing warm clothes, otherwise you’ll just end up carrying them around. While there aren’t a huge number of animals, the way everything is presented, the design, and the overall concept are truly impressive for both kids and adults. The large aquariums filled with different species of fish are especially captivating, giving you the feeling of being immersed in an underwater world. This is definitely a place worth visiting with the whole family. It combines entertainment with educational value, leaving you with vivid memories and a strong desire to come back again.

Overall, decent experience, but after visiting a few places like this around Europe it is unfortunately average. Animals are few and between, some tanks are dirty and with a lot of green algae. My child had a decent time but as a adult you would expect a little bit more.

Such an amazing place! A must visit if you go to Gothenburg There is something for everyone here- space,dinosaurs, science, aquarium, rainforest, kids place area. There is a cafe and restaurant on site too, we went to the cafe and the food was lovely we got a grilled cheese and a cookie. The place itself is fantastic, there is so many opportunities to learn things and to get involved in activities. It truly is such a lovely place that you can spend hours in! Would definitely recommend!!!

Great experience! I actually went twice during my visit to Gothenburg. I went by myself at first and spend 1.5 hours there, enjoyed it so much that I went again with my partner for another hour. So much to see and enjoy for all ages. Definitely recommend visiting. It was a bit busy when I went during the day because there were some school classes also there (a lot of kids). The second time I went an hour before closing and it was quieter then.
Sarah H — Google review
Was a bit disappointed, there were a lot of aquariums or displays « in construction » or empty. The aquarium side seemed to be a bit abandoned. There was still a lot of information given by the posters. The rainforest was very nice, with birds flying freely in the space. Again, many things were just empty. It is nice that you have other exhibitions includes with you entry (body, space, data). It’s very kids oriented. Normally I enjoy aquariums as much as kids, but for this one I should’ve skipped it, not enough fishes (no jelly fish for example, very few mantras, lack of fish in the big fish tunnel). Good thing is after 16:30 it’s only 200kr!
SB — Google review
It's nicely designed & well made, we loved it! -1⭐️ because they (currently?) have a massive spider problem! Codwebs are EVERYWHERE & you genuinely have to be careful from spiders hanging from ceilings (we had to duck under 3 & probably still disturbed some nets) It therefore looks a little badly taken care of because of that.. So be warned it you suffer from Arachnophobia haha
Schnuds — Google review
A full day of fun, learning, and exploring nature! Universeum is great for kids and families. Don’t miss the incredible Wisdome experience; the 3D universe and T.Rex shows were highlights. Be sure to ask for the English recorded machine if needed. The Aquarium and reptiles section was very good. While the Rainforest was good, we noticed many animals were missing and could only spot flamingos. Despite the missing rainforest residents, the overall experience was excellent and highly recommended.
Chakradhar — Google review
Honestly, it's a bit for kids but me and two other 40 year old men still enjoyed it. Go in, go to the elevators at the back and go to floor 7. We went in after 3pm so it was cheaper. From there there's a series of ramps and you can basically walk down through the whole building. Floor to ceiling fish tanks, reptile area, space and science area with a cloud chamber that was cool. Little screen with some cool videos. Then you can go through the hot house floors, nipping out through the airlocks to checkout the floors adjacent on your way down as it's very humid in there, breaks recommended. For us it filled a few hours and one of us needs a walking stick so highly recommend that top down route for that reason.

Although prices have increased, the variety of shops available makes it a must-visit destination for fashion enthusiasts.

Visited Hede Fashion Outlet recently and had a good experience overall. The outlet has a nice atmosphere-spacious, clean, and not too crowded. It's a great place to spend a few hours shopping. You'll find many big international brands, especially for dresses, bags, and shoes. Prices vary-some stores offer real outlet deals, while others feel more like regular retail with small discounts. But if you look around, you can definitely find good bargains. There's also a small selection of cafés and restaurants to take a break-like Espresso House

This outlet is quite different from what you might know from countries like Germany or the Netherlands. It is smaller, the selection is less, and it is super empty. However, the salespeople are very nice and try to help wherever they can! Compared to the aforementioned countries, the prices are significantly cheaper. Therefore, it is definitely worth a visit to save some money.

Tjolöholm Castle

Castle

English-style castle in early 20th-century decor, with landscaped park & gardens, plus guestrooms.
Castle Visit (Not Stay) I am lucky I visited this castle and took a guided tour. The entire premises (Entrance/parking/gardens/Cafes/The Castle itself) are well maintained. The castle is in excellent shape and very elegant. Just imagining what the original residents must have felt to stay here. The guided tour is nice. Gives quick insights into the castle history. There is a nice beach behind the castle. In a summer, families can arrange a one day picnic to this place. Tourists should allocate around 3-4 hours to visit the place in its entireity. Tickets can be purchased on site. There is not much rush.
Eshant S — Google review
Visited from a cruise ship while docked in Gothenburg. Firstly it is not a hotel but a visitor attraction and museum. It took us around 30 mins on the coach to arrive at the castle but it is well worth the drive. It is now a museum as such and is very well maintained. We had a guided tour and the history was explained very well from the castles conception to the family that built it (actually a Scotsman). What I liked most was that while it is a museum walking around it still felt lived in and quite homely to me which added to its attraction. All the original artefacts and fittings are still on display and there is plenty to see. There is some great views from the windows and the gardens are well maintained. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour and I would consider it a must see attraction when visiting Gothenburg. You can get afternoon tea if you wish but unfortunately we did not have the time for that.

Right. So you get to Tjolöholm. And of course, being in Scandinavia, it's a few minutes past 5 pm, so the doors are all locked. Perfectly predictable, isn't it? A bit of a shame, but as it turns out, it really doesn't matter. Even from the outside, the place is just brilliant. My word, it's a magnificent, imposing building that looks like something out of a film. And the location? A proper triumph. Perched right there, overlooking the water. It's utterly stunning and perfectly placed. It proves that a place can be brilliant even if you can’t get inside. It makes you feel genuinely happy for the person who lived there. A proper, lucky soul.

I love visiting Tjolöholm castle, although its more like a stately home. You'd never imagine this place in Sweden, its more befitting to a victorian family in England. Not surprising as it was built as a tribute to a Scottish business man by his widow. Lots of interesting rooms to visit. It's changed since I first visited 30 years ago. Definitely worth a visit. Great cafe on-site! Car park could be closer. My sister struggled to walk to the home due to recovery from surgery but persisted.

The Halland Museum of Cultural History, located in an ancient seaside fort, offers a glimpse into the rich past of Halland.

Visitors can explore medieval castles, quaint fishing villages, and learn about the region's contested history between Denmark and Sweden.

Well-known superstore selling diverse goods on an expansive property with a campground & hotel.
Easily my favorite outlet store in Sweden. Super big store with a lot of different products at lower prices. Not recommended for me to travel here often because it gets expensive due to cheap prices. 😅 It has a cafe, restaurants and everything one needs to spend the entire day in the store.
Joy G — Google review
Finally a store that has some - not much - mama clothes! Their kids clothes department had a good organization, there were signs where you can see the size of clothes you are looking for so you don't need to look through the whole department. On the other hand, if you download their own map over the store you can see they have marked up the store by letter+number combination. Very smart thinking but they fall half way. At the map you can also look for what you might be looking for... Maybe it's like for me mama clothes but no, it's not specified where by letter+number you can find it in the store 😐 So one have to disturb the staff everytime you can't find the stuff you are looking for. 🫤 So one could have been much more independent if one just have the information... Maybe an app over the departments if it changes a lot, could be next step? To visit early in the morning, midweek, was a really good idea. It got crowded first around lunchtime. If you are quick you can be done by lunch.

Chaos...chaos..chaos.. The prizes are maybe somewhat lower then usual, but thats only the case when you buy in bulk and really need it. We ve scored some Legos for some kids back home, because that's the only thing that was cheaper.

If you need your day to day items shopping done this is a good place to be at. Especially if you need quality clothes for babies/kids without spending a fortune. But don't expect to be buying in bulk and make huge savings. The prizes are the same or just below as other budget stores in Sweden. But you will not have any problem finding what you need in the same store.

There is plenty of parking in close proximity to the entrance. Once inside you will be greeted by the great assortment of clothes (some of which are by known brands such as Hugo Boss). There are also many other products and some restaurants. The only negative is that it’s often quite crowded, expect so wait in line at the counters for at least 10 minutes.

Great ice cream outlet in Slöinge, Sweden. Quite a few parking spaces, though they do tend to run out on warm days in the high season. Seating places both outside and inside. The actual ice cream parlor can have long queues in the high season. If you don't want/need the full selection of flavours there is a limited selection at a small trailer nearby (also high season) Outlet freezers have a varied selection and occasionally have really good deals.

Great ice-cream, brilliant prices as you can buy discount ones where the packaging may not be suitable for regular stores (i.e. a slight crack, or a logo not looking right).

Fine sand beach with a beautiful view. Perfect beach for family with kids which means it can get really crowded on a warm summer day. There are restaurants close by and public toilets too.

Very nice white sand beach! Great for long walks bathe with some algae in the sea! You will get a foul smell in the morning due to see weed and algae floating to shore. Very well maintained beach 🏖️ with plenty of free parking, toilets and restaurants nearby. Its best on the Sunny days as there isn’t so much wind due to bushes and sand piles on the end of shore. If you have a good company or looking for a solace then this beach is apt! Enjoy

Nice beach in Halmstad. The water is very quiet and clean. It is a four-kilometre-long beach. It has been named Sweden’s best beach time and time again. You can even enjoy a walk and find Tjuvahålan and Svärjarehålan. The two bays have a small beach, rocks and a jetty – perfect for a nice walk with friends and family.

We came here a day when the forecast promised rain but the sun was shining so we were pretty much alone. Amazingly wide sand beach with a lot of space for many guests. Pretty shallow water, great for the kids. Some kiosks around for Icecream and snacks.

Kullen Lighthouse

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
Kullen Lighthouse, located on the Kullaberg Peninsula, is arguably Scandinavia's oldest lighthouse with a history dating back over 1000 years. Positioned dramatically atop cliffs, it serves as a crucial navigational beacon in heavily trafficked waters, with its powerful 1000-watt beam visible for 27 nautical miles. The site offers expert-led and self-guided tours, along with a summer cafe and opportunities for porpoise watching.
Kullen Lighthouse is a breathtaking coastal landmark on Sweden’s southwest coast. Surrounded by rugged cliffs and stunning ocean views, it offers a peaceful retreat with incredible scenery. Visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas, explore nearby nature trails, and learn about its rich maritime history at the visitor center. Perfect for sightseeing, photography, and nature lovers. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring the area!

Wonderful peninsula for hiking - no difficulties. The round tour (marked orange) is recommended. Pack a bathing suit and plenty of time, it's worth it. The visit to the centre at the top (halfway point) is also worthwhile. Especially noteworthy, outside, the litter educational trail with the final post with plastic bags to help keep nature clean.
Thomas K — Google review
A nice view of the sea. Lot's of black berries around the hiking path. Parking is available on the site. Then you have to walk. Wheel chairs are not suitable as hiking area. There is a small ice cream shop and washrooms are also available in the shop. At exhibition area, you can see information about sea animals. In some areas you can take a sea bath. A beautiful place to visit in summer.

Great spot to spend quality time with friends and family. Plenty of parking spaces available. There is a fee of 30kr to go on top of the lighthouse. You will get a binocular to look around. There are at least 5 hiking trails around this place with easy to hard difficulty levels. Be prepared for strong winds.

Much smaller yet equally entertaining park for the whole family. Lesser chance of getting tired or loosing a group member due to smaller size . The surprise skits and circus are worth a visit. The free train to city centre is enjoyable as well. Very good adventure park for families with kids and people with special needs. Food not upto the mark ! No place to do your own grill ! Start an early day and take a train to city centre to get lunch or walk across the road to eat at burger king (which has an exceptionally good service )

If the quality is imortant for you don't go there! Poor quality of food, poor quality of instrument. They sell ticket unlimited so too many people so you will not enjoy in the water becuase you can not move! As a result of having too many people in the pool water is not clean. Staff are not perfotional they can not even speak Swdish. Awfull experience don't be decived by pictures on their website.

Really affordable price but after a few minutes you understand why. Paint work is overdue, carousels are sounding like they haven't been oiled in a few years and apparently they haven't got time to attach the toilets to the floor. If you ignore this and focus on the fairly new water attractions then it's very affordable and could give you a pleasant day.

Spent 1700kr for our visit with our 4 children and was slightly disappointed. Social distancing none existent in the park nor was it enforced. I noticed in the hut there was a shelf full of facemasks and not one staff member using them even when in close contact with so many people. We prebooked thinking that's what you had to do to secure entrance into there but they were just letting everyone in who hadn't prebooked. The park was over filled the overflow carpark was in full use. No one was obeying the rules either and no one was enforcing them, so the swimming area was chaotic! Also the changing room was too small and not enough showers. The bins were overflowing by 11am and toilets were dirty. Overall the park is pretty run down and needs fixing up with better hygiene facilities in place and perhaps some sort of security. Definitely not worth over 2000kr we spent on food and entrance.
Lee L — Google review
Horrible experience! When we got to the line, 40 min before opening, there were 12 people in line. As time went by, more and more joined these people. We realized it’s a whole big family and their friends are joining by cutting in line the last 10 min before opening. Finally, we tell them because as they are increasing, we won’t get in even though we’ve been waiting for so long, but they don’t care and we don’t want to argue with our kids there. So we tell the staff (we counted and they were 49 - so from 12 to 49...). The staff were completely ignorant of this and neglected us and just said “well some families are big.” We left with very disappointed children, because we wouldve never gotten in. Avoid!

Ein irgendwie doch ganz schön in die Jahre gekommender Erlebnispark. Es gibt unterschiedliche Bereiche, deren Zutritt mit unterschiedlich teuren Eintritt „erkauft“ werden. Alles wirkt plaste-lieblos. Teilweise kaputt und blass. Wer sonst die Detail-Liebe der Schweden zu schätzen weiß, wird hier enttäuscht. Die 300Kr je Person sind es definitiv nicht wert. Auch das Essen im Retaurant ist naja ok. Die Unsauberkeit auf Toiletten dafür dann doch grenzwertig. Dennoch Kinder sehen ja über viele dieser Dinge hinweg und finden ihren Spaß. Da muss man als Erwachsener eben mal die eigene Meinung weit zurück halten. (Translated by Google) An adventure park that is somehow getting quite old. There are different areas whose access is “purchased” with different entrance fees. Everything seems plastic-loving. Partly broken and pale. Anyone who otherwise appreciates the Swedes' attention to detail will be disappointed here. The 300Kr per person is definitely not worth it. The food in the restaurant is also ok. The uncleanliness of the toilets is borderline. However, children overlook many of these things and find fun. As an adult, you have to keep your own opinions far back.
Jana S — Google review
It's old, worn and quite small. It do not offer much and the things it offer looks terrible and much don't work like the small houses with scenes from children's books. Also the water was quite dirty. The only thing that saves the place is the low entry price and the ice creams, they put a lot of ice cream in the cups. I will not return.

Lovely place! It has one of the best sunset views in Denmark. The beach is sandy and you can walk or run around the whole place. It is located at an hours' drive from the city center and is also well connected by trains. You can also have one of the best fish and chips in and around the local shops here.

It's a fantastic place for a delicious bite. People are very friendly and you get a chance to try the local cuisine, whether it's fish or fast food that you're into. As soon as the sun comes out, the harbour is crowded with people, which brings life to the community. Off season, you can still enjoy the nature, near Gilleleje Havn, with ample opportunity to enjoy the scenery and spectacular nature.

Modern art museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark showcases an impressive collection of international contemporary and modern art dating back to 1945. The museum also features temporary exhibitions and is suitable for all ages. Visitors can bring their own food and drinks or dine at the cafeteria/restaurant. The facility is easily accessible with baby strollers and boasts creative spaces for children to play and create.
Super fun place to examine modern art. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of modern art but this place was a lot of fun. The sculpture garden was the highlight but in a very special way. Be sure to first experience seeing the sculptures from inside the museum as you peruse the other exhibits then experience them from the outside. This made me really appreciate how well the sculpture and the building integrates with each other and with the surrounding environment - both the rise and fall of the property and the background of the sea and sky. Just a superb experience.
Dennis L — Google review
About an hour by train outside of Copenhagen city centre and then 10 minutes walk from Humlebaek station. The ticket can be book online but it was also super easy to buy it on arrival with no queue when we go on Sunday midday. There are a little bit of outdoor sculptures and some indoor gallery. Nice view and some interesting displays. There are 2 gift shops, one on the ground floor and one downstairs. I had a fun train ride.

This museum is a wonderful reason to take a short trip and experience another side of Denmark beyond Copenhagen. It offers a great opportunity to focus on and appreciate the works of talented contemporary artists. The outdoor installations, in particular, blend beautifully with the gardens and surrounding landscape. The number of artworks feels just right—not overwhelming—allowing you to take your time, enjoy the scenery, and relax as you explore, especially on a pleasant day.

Really amazing museum. Large galleries, beautiful outdoor space with ocean views, great 2-story gift shop and restaurant. Plan to spend about 2.5 hours wondering around. Really enjoyed the exhibits and architecture. We bought our tickets online and they were good for one use within one year of the time of purchase. The train ride is about an hour from downtown Copenhagen.

Beautiful museum, really recommend the trip out of the city to visit. Great, easy train journey too with a short walk to the museum which is set in the most fabulous building and grounds. We booked tickets in advance so we didn’t have to queue, which id recommend if you can. Loved the sculpture garden, definitely go on a dry day so you can make the most of the gardens and the views over the water. Wonderful cafe, with space to eat/drink outside in the sun. Great coffee. Beautiful shop with loads of fab design based gifts, art prints, ceramics, books and accessories. Cloakroom space through the back of the shop to store bags and coats in lockers is so useful. A card machine is available for those without local coins to use.

After being to several modern arts meseums I think they are not for my taste.I have to be objective tho. I think the exhibitions were smartly and beautifuly placed.

Andrew K — Google review
Visiting the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art was one of the highlights of our Copenhagen trip; it made for such a beautiful day out of the city. The museum is located in Humlebæk, about 35–40 minutes north of Copenhagen. We took the train and the journey was quick, scenic and very comfortable; once you arrive it’s only a short 10 walk from the station to the entrance ( just follow the crowd) The museum first opened in 1958 and was created with the vision of making modern art accessible in a place where people could experience it alongside nature rather than in a formal or intimidating setting. The architecture is stunning! Designed by Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert, and the layout feels thoughtful and calm. There are long corridors of glass, open courtyards, natural light everywhere and pathways that lead you between indoor gallery spaces and the outdoors. It’s the kind of building where you notice something beautiful around every corner. The museum is known for showcasing both international and Danish modern and contemporary artists. They have an incredible permanent collection, and new exhibitions are rotated throughout the year so there is always something fresh to experience. The sculpture garden overlooking the sea might have been my favourite part; walking through the garden with large scale artworks and hearing the ocean just behind them felt very special. Inside there are two places to eat: one café outdoors along the sculpture garden path, and one beautiful indoor restaurant with large windows facing the ocean. We stopped at the restaurant and enjoyed a glass of wine and something delicious to eat while looking out over the coastline; such a peaceful moment in the middle of exploring. There is also a fantastic gift shop filled with design pieces, prints, books and souvenirs. Perfect if you want to take something home to remember your visit. This museum is big; we spent nearly the entire day there and I’m glad we didn’t rush. We took our time walking through the exhibitions, stopping for breaks, sitting outside, and exploring the gardens. It is absolutely the kind of place where slowing down makes the experience even better. Entry tickets cost 145 DKK for adults, with students holding a valid student card paying 125 DKK. Children and young adults under 18 have free entry. We bought our tickets on arrival and there was no wait at all, which made our visit feel relaxed from the start. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 to 22:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00; the museum is closed on Mondays. I imagine summer weekends are the busiest, so if you prefer a quieter experience, weekdays are probably ideal. A quote that came to mind while wandering around was “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” It felt fitting, because this place truly lifts something inside you. If you are visiting Copenhagen and want a day where art, architecture and nature come together beautifully, I highly recommend coming here. It’s calming, inspiring and incredibly memorable; I would happily return again.

Lovely museum situated in a gorgeous place looking out on the ocean and Sweden. Loved some of the art, hated some of the art - the perfect modern art experience.

The M/S Maritime Museum in Helsingor, Denmark offers a unique underground experience showcasing the history of Danish seafaring and trade. The modern building provides an intriguing setting for exhibits on this maritime heritage. Located on the northeast coast of Zealand, it stands opposite Helsingborg, Sweden. The museum is a must-visit destination for those interested in delving into Denmark's rich seafaring past.
The museum was very informative and attractive. For adults and for the kids it's for everyone who wants to learn something about Danish maritime history. The museum shop was weak if I compare it with the Viking museum in Roskilde. But overall I definitely recommend this museum. Actually just for this museum you can come to Helsingør.
Yunus D — Google review
Worth a trip to Denmark! It’s not only worth a detour to finish your Copenhagen pass, it could be the cornerstone of your entire trip; according to the Michelin rating, it’s the top note! The museum is set in a dry dock, adorning an incredible architecture. Very kids friendly, with a huge playing area that also instructs, it offers a story within the story with a clandestine mouse that the kids have to hunt for. As for the adults, the museum is multifaceted, showing history, WWII, the influence of shipping, but also stunning models and a mesmerizing photo exhibit of sunk boats and their treasures. Tank to the team, always smiling as they provide answers to the most obscure questions, and the generous donators that made this museum possible. The shop offers quality products designed or made in Denmark. If the cafe is closed, there is a huge indoor food trucks area nearby! There’s more than Hamlet in Helsingør!

It was our second visit to the museum, which underwent an excellent renovation during the winter of 2024–spring 2025. We continue to love the place, as do our kids. It’s a spot where you can learn a great deal about Denmark’s maritime history and spend hours admiring the many boat models. We highly recommend a visit and suggest planning to spend 2–3 hours there.

This museum is so much fun, it deserves all 5/5 stars. Not 4.5, not 4.7, but a proper 5. The effect the museum had on us is that our new dreamjob is to design museums about on the surface boring subjects. Making ships this interesting, quite the accomplishment. It was very interactive, we learned a lot and we loved finding the hidden mice 🐭 (and we're grownups!) Discovered this museum thanks to the CPH card, and would recommend anyone to make a stop here, along with the castle right next to it. Great stuff!

Kronborg Castle

Mentioned on 
58 lists 
Castle
Museums
Kronborg Castle, also known as Hamlet's Castle, is a 16th-century Renaissance masterpiece located in Helsingor, Denmark. This UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for being the inspiration for Elsinore in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet.' The castle features baroque green-copper spires and is surrounded by moats and fortifications. Visitors can explore the inner palace's royal chambers, tapestries, ceiling paintings, and viewpoints.
Good: ✅ This is THE attraction in town. Beautiful property, castle, and engaging museum. ✅ Tailored visits. With a few hours on hand, pay admission and see it all. If short on time, walk the exteriors (amazing views) at no cost. Either journey is at your own pace. ✅ Well organized. There are sections of the castle with color-coded entrances from the main courtyard. A color-coded map is provided making it easy to make choices—see what you want. Caution: ❌ Obviously, a rainy day will alter the outdoor experience. However, for those paying admission, there is still so much to see inside. Summary: Aside from the adjacent cobblestone streets meandering through a charming cluster of shops and restaurants (an attraction on its own), the Kronborg Castle is the star attraction in town. An exploration will not disappoint.

Kronborg Castle is one of the most impressive and atmospheric places I visited in Denmark. Overlooking the Øresund Strait, this UNESCO World Heritage site is not only visually stunning, but also packed with history and character. Known worldwide as “Hamlet’s Castle,” it fully lives up to its fame. The rooms and royal chambers are beautifully preserved, giving you a real sense of the grandeur of the Danish monarchy in the Renaissance era. But the highlight for me was exploring the dark, eerie casemates — the old military barracks beneath the castle. Walking through those damp, stone tunnels really brings the past to life. You can almost feel the presence of the soldiers who once took shelter there. And then there's Holger Danske, the legendary statue deep in the basement. According to Danish folklore, this mythical warrior sleeps under Kronborg Castle and will rise to defend Denmark in her time of need. Seeing the statue in the dim light down there added a magical, almost mythological touch to the whole experience. If you're into history, legends, or just want to explore a magnificent fortress with great views and an unforgettable atmosphere, Kronborg is absolutely worth the visit. Take your time — there’s a lot to discover.

Andrew K — Google review
Visiting Kronborg Castle was such a wonderful way to start our week in Denmark; we went on a Monday (during shoulder season) and it set the tone beautifully for our week ahead. The castle is located in the quaint town of Helsingør, about 45 minutes by train from central Copenhagen. The ride is comfortable and scenic, and from the station it’s a short walk into town and up to the castle grounds. We paid about 145 DKK for adult entry, students 125 DKK, and children under 18 were free. Kronborg dates back to the early 1420s when a fortress first stood here; later in the 16th century King Frederick II transformed it into the grand Renaissance castle you see today. The setting is dramatic: right at the narrowest point of the Øresund Strait, looking across toward Sweden, which explains its historic importance. The connection to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet adds a layer of legend and story: this very site inspired the “Elsinore” of the play. “To be, or not to be” seems almost to float in the air when you walk the corridors. We spent a few hours exploring and I’m so glad we didn’t rush; We enjoyed the whole castle, then ventured down into the crypts beneath the castle which felt a bit eerie, then examined the great halls, ramparts, the chapel and the sweeping views over the water. There’s a nice café inside and the gift shop nearby is well worth a browse and I found some beautiful keepsakes to take home. The town of Helsingør is charming, with historic buildings, small cafés and the sea at its doorstep; combining lunch in the town centre with our castle visit made for a really nice day out of the city. One important note: accessibility is limited; the castle has many stairs and no elevator, so it’s not ideal for wheelchairs. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 until 16:00 in the off-peak season; the castle is closed on Mondays. During spring and summer months the hours are extended and on major holidays special times apply, so it’s worth checking ahead. Summer weekends in particular can get busier; if you prefer quieter exploring aim for a weekday morning. If you’re in Copenhagen and craving a day trip with history, drama and stunning scenery, I highly recommend Kronborg Castle.

Few things you can say about Kronborg Castle other than incredible. There’s so much to see, experience, and learn here — the amount of history within these walls is astounding. The preservation work is truly impressive, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate this remarkable piece of Denmark’s heritage. I had an amazing time touring the castle and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A magical place full of history! Kronborg Castle is truly impressive - elegant, mysterious, and full of stories.

Just make sure to dress warmly - it can be quite windy there, even in spring!

A very valuable information and knowledge gained by visiting this Museum. We could see the development of Railways in Sweden. There is a 3D show. Right from conventional steam engines till the present bullet trains, we can experience the travel, as if we are sitting in the engines, like steam engines, electric engines and the present bullet engines. Ancient Postal department in a station is displayed. Live models of locomotives and how the operations, like construction tents, carrying the coal and other materials are conducted and different kinds of trains were displayed.

Interesting museum where you can spend some hours...inside or outside....with or without your kids

A great place for young and adults to enjoy history in a fun way and learn a few things. Kids loved it and we were more than happy to help them understand things. It was a little bit hassle to translate sometimes but otherwise really good. Locomotion was among the most fascinating things we observed. The concept of train station and ticket checker brings a lot of memories and its funny how kids today will never get to use these things, like an old ringer phone.

Really fun museum. Pretty good English support but you have to ask for videos in English. Prices for food are really reasonable and ticket prices to get in are good. The new exhibit doesn't have many things to see and while it has alot of information but it's alot of reading which isn't great for small kids or even for adults with small kids because they will get bored. Will definitely come back.

We love this museum. It’s small but quite a lot of good stuff to see from the different time. It’s good for both small and big kids. I like that virtual tour like in the cinema! Recommend to everyone and we’ll come again too!

Delightfully cozy museum, with a focus on railroads and the Swedish historical context. Lots of practical equipment and real life history as well, alongside some delightful models.

We stopped here so our kids could play in the amazing park. We all thought it was superb. Furthermore the public loos that are on site here were the best I have seen (even in Sweden). The petting zoo was great fun for all of us as well and gave us a chance to really talk about different animals.

The playground is fun for the little ones, but perhaps less so for bigger kids. Lots of farm animals, and a large herd of tame deer. Didn't try the zip-lines but the large course through the tree tops looks like it would be fantastic. Pricey though, at almost 400kr.

Fantastic park for families. Petting zoo, great playgrounds, some museums, and a lovely ice cream shop. Also a train that goes into the city for the kiddos to ride. Plus entrance to the park is FREE!

Great place for a day out with the family. One of the biggest playgrounds I've seen, lots of different animals (chickens, pigs, deer, etc.), a cafe, and a waffle restaurant. There's also a place that has a ropes course high up in the trees.

Sights & Landmarks
Lund Cathedral, a renowned Lutheran church in Sweden, is a must-see landmark with its 55-meter-high towers known as Lunna pagar. Dating back to 1145, the cathedral boasts historical treasures like the untouched crypt from 1123 and an astronomical clock from 1380. Designed by architect Helgo Zetterval, the main block features a classical style and faces a charming square. Visitors can also admire the impressive Kungshuset tower nearby.
Lund Cathedral is a must-see if you’re visiting southern Sweden! The architecture is absolutely stunning with it's massive stone towers-seriously impressive! The cathedral really stands out in the center of the city. It's hard to miss. Inside, it's really pretty with its stained glass and a cool astronomical clock located towards the back. Some of the people I met that came out shortly after me said they weren't allowed to see the clock or take pics. I think they start to get strict there on visitors once mass begins. It’s free to enter and is worth a stop in. A memorable landmark in Sweden for sure.

A beautiful old cathedral built around the 1100s. As with cathedrals back then, there is a crypt where kings and other important people were buried. Another really cool antique is the astrological clock that still works. Amazing place and it is definitely a must visit when in Lund.

Lund Cathedral isn’t just a place of worship — it’s a cathedral wrapped in Swedish legend, myth, and medieval wonder. From the moment you step inside, you feel the weight of centuries and stories pressing in from the stone walls and shadowy corners. The most fascinating part lies beneath the main floor — the ancient crypt, built in the early 12th century. Here stands the eerie statue of Finn the Giant, said in local legend to have built the cathedral in a single night. When the bishop tricked him out of payment, Finn tried to destroy the cathedral but was turned to stone and now stands silently guarding the crypt. It’s a chilling and unforgettable sight that adds a mythical edge to your visit. Then there’s the astronomical clock, an enchanting medieval timepiece that still functions today. Every day at noon and 3 p.m., you can watch it come to life as the Three Wise Men process before a mechanical Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, while medieval music plays. It’s like stepping straight into a fairy tale. Even if you’re not religious, the deep sense of Nordic lore, mystery, and ancient craftsmanship make this one of the most memorable cathedrals in all of Scandinavia. A must-visit for lovers of legends and the mystical past.

Very historical church , must visit and it’s near to malmo. It’s built in year 1100 and architecture is very beautiful. There is no entry ticket for this church. Usually there is lot of weddings happen in this church and some times it can be closed for visitors. There is paid parking available nearby. Lot of restaurants also nearby.

A very serene place, It is beautiful cathedral built around the 1100s. It was worth the visit for the beautiful stained glass windows and the silence. the offerings of burring the candle was satisfying

It's a magnificent ancient church that has retained its genius loci. There is an astronomical clock inside which shows not just time but also date and zodiac sign and it chimes, with moving marionettes, at noon. And this is followed by a short prayer and Bible reading, which I very much appreciated. The bookstore across the church yard is also very much worth visiting.

I really liked it. For a 1000-year-old cathedral, it's very well-preserved. Don't miss the basement, there's a very interesting crypt there.

It was built as the Catholic cathedral of the archiepiscopal see of all the Nordic countries, dedicated to Saint Lawrence. It is one of the oldest stone buildings still in use in Sweden.
